Update Wednesday-8pm

TaDa! I am back online!!

Leah used her cell phone to put up the previous post for me. Thanks, Leah!

Dagan couldn't find anything wrong on our end and was going to just try to call to see if the repair person could come earlier than the 19th. We had given up on getting through for assistance (must be a lot of people calling repair in the evenings?). Dagan decided to try one more time (before they were going to start tweaking and drilling on the paper drying rack) and he miraculously connected with an actual human being! After a fairly long conversation (I had to verify my identity and give verbal permission for Dagan to represent me on the phone), said human being finally did some fiddling of some sort on their end (Dagan wasn't even sure what they did)...and poof! I was suddenly back online again. This human being obviously had more tech-smarts than the one I talked with at length this morning. I am sooooo relieved that I didn't have to wait until next Wednesday!! Whew! (But let's just say--I am not thrilled with Century Link.)

Just wanted to give you a quick head's up. I hope I STAY online now. I'm exhausted and going to relax, finish watching the last of Justified, and go to bed. ;) Nighty Nite!! I would have really missed you all! A whole week without internet, email, and my online friends--awk! :):)

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. "

So glad you are back too!!!!! I have CenturyLink also and I absolutely despise them...unfortunately they are the only high speed internet available here and they are SLOW! Whenever we downsize it will be to somewhere with better internet service for sure.

Just a note: I don't pass on awards or do tags, and I no longer comment on blogs that have word verification (see top right hand corner of my blog). So if you haven't heard from me that's probably why. Sorry.

I read and appreciate each and every comment, but it became too overwhelming to personally respond to each one like I used to here in the blog comment section. I will answer questions and communicate via email, though, if you have an email address listed on blogger and I do try to respond to every comment.
